| Summary: | This evaluation summary synthesizes the results of the first year of the Wisconsin Rural Reading Improvement Project (WRRIP), a project aimed at helping small, rural schools improve reading instruction by teaching reading as thinking (also termed "strategic reading"). The means used is staff development: specifically, a leadership team composed of a school principal, the reading specialist, and the media specialist work together to support targeted teachers in reading instruction while information is delivered to the team and the teachers through an assortment of telecommunications strategies that allow distance learning to take place. Following a brief general overview, the summary begins with 10 general findings based upon case study data, data from two surveys, meeting observations, and other sources. The findings are sorted into four categories: Reading Instruction, Staff Development, Distance Learning, and Project Organization and Delivery. This is followed by eight findings from two surveys. The next section describes generally the evaluation methodology used. The final section provides a description of the project at the end of year 1. (SR) |
